Perched on the top floor of Freight Island, WYLD brings together glamorous dining, cocktails and live entertainment, transforming from a restaurant into a buzzy late-night destination as the evening unfolds.
The gorgeous top-floor restaurant curates a dramatic aesthetic with warm orb lighting from above and tables illuminated by candlelight. The interior is cohesive and sleek, decorated by modern wooden furnishings and wall-to-wall windows. Guests can enjoy panoramic views of Newcastle from sundown to moonlight.
Whilst Freight Island operates as a neighbourhood space for eating and events, WYLD has it all in one place, with evenings prepared to go on for as long as you want. As the evening approaches, the stage that partitions the restaurant is occupied by a variety of entertainment, including DJs, live musicians and performers. Enjoy watching the transformation of the space with this immersive dining experience, for quality get-togethers and memorable date nights.
Smaller dishes include as olive-fed wagyu beef carpaccio with anchovy and parmesan, or Cornish octopus and San Marzano tomato ragu, designed for sharing. Diners can decorate the table with an impressive selection of fire-cooked dishes, including sausage ‘mixed grill’ featuring Morteau, Merguez, and Frankfurter sausage. Keen for seafood instead? Let the Northumberland lobster dish served with Bearnaise sauce take the stage on your table.
As the crowd changes throughout the week, WYLD adapts with it: a Sunday roast is also available, offering a choice of rare breed pork belly, roast beef, or lion's mane mushrooms with all the best trimmings.
Drinks can’t be missed. Whether it's to extend a dinner date, or begin a lively evening with friends, prepare to be wowed. The drinks offering includes an expertly curated wine list by award-winning sommelier Vanessa Stoltz, as well as a thoughtful cocktail list championing British spirits.
